As He Asked Her

Though you be above me, as I on bended knee.
This heart on this pillow, I offer up to thee.
I�ve taken pride in what I own, this one of a kind.
So please if you accept, be gentle, for it was mine.

I ask not in return for yours, but I gladly would accept.
Point my mind an direct me, show me the next step.
I only wish to win your favor, count me among your list.
If I conquer all my foes, all I�m asking is a kiss.

My wealth not measured in gold or coin, or trinkets, jewels, or treasure.
Only that my love for you, would bring you that much pleasure.
Therefore my love I wait for you, standing outside your door.
Should you need my presence, I�ll bow to you once more.

                   She Then Replied
Rise from your bended knee, rise and take my hand.
I will guide and favor you, as a woman to a man.
Wealth, jewels, and coin I have, love I had forgot.
My wealth squandered easily, true love I would not.

We�ll shall share the wonders, the world will offer.
You I ask, pay only half, delve into your coffer.
Give me half your heart and soul, I�ll match it with mine.
If a contract you should need, show me where to sign.

As for the kiss, it�s yours my love, I place it on you gently.
This love we now share, didn�t happen accidentally.
The trail I left for you was clear, I�d hoped you found it soon.
Then she turned as she held his hand, and walked to the bedroom.
